“Timlin...at least he showed us why the Orioles let him go.”

The Red Sox need to let him go too.

I swear Bob Stanley must have been his pitching coach or something.

“How funny to see all these nouveau Rays fans at the Trop. How ‘bout that... they actually filled that dump? ;-)”

The 2 games I went to down there earlier this year actually had more Red Sox fans in the stadium than rays fans.

Yes, I heard them chanting "Let's go Red Sox!" (I watch just about every Red Sox game)

Same thing happens when take a trip to "Fenway South" (Camden Yards in Baltimore) when the Red Sox visit the Orioles. It's usually 3/4 Red Sox fans, 1/4 Oriole fans. Same thing happens when the Yankees are in Baltimore.

My original comment (above): I noticed that the Trop was finally filled with mostly Rays fans, and the place seemed to be sold out. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Lester cannot get his curve over and the ump seems to have two different strike zones today.

Ugh.

I miss David Ortiz. Might be time to move him down in the order.

Too many injuries for this team. Losing a #3 and #5 hitter and a top starter is too much.

Too bad since the Rays are solid but not spectacular.

A great place to start is pinch hitting for Pink Hat. Get Ortiz out of there as well. Big Pop-up will gripe but he hasn’t shown that he deserves to be up in the clutch.

Those blown early opportunities are looking ominous right now

Ortiz wrist must not be up to strength. He’s not getting on top of that ball.

Pink Hat? and come on you cant pull ortiz out right now! the fans (who dont seem to pleased right now) would burn the place to the ground.

It’s up to Tim Wakefield to save the season.

Need another good game out of Dice-K and the Red Sox to find their bats.
